Carol Metz Murray Canadian Center for Men

Carol Metz Murray speaks about the Canadian Centre for Men and Families, emphasizing its role as a critical resource for men seeking support against violence. She highlights how the center provides a safe, welcoming space where men can find help for issues such as domestic abuse, mental health struggles, and emotional trauma—topics that are often stigmatized for men.

The center offers various services, including counseling, peer support groups, and advocacy, all aimed at addressing the unique challenges men face. Murray underscores the importance of recognizing men's need for these services and creating a broader dialogue about men’s mental health and well-being.

The Canadian Centre for Men and Families is Vancouver’s hub for boys, men, fathers and families. We proactively foster healthy boys and men by filling critical gaps in men’s services that reduce male suicide, empower fathers undergoing separation and divorce, and help boys and men heal from trauma. We support, empower and advocate for men before, during and after a crisis, in a safe, open, inclusive and supportive environment.
